Say I have two autotools projects: libmyutils libmypackage The libmypackage library has a dependency on libmyutils. Is there a way to have libmypackage link to and reference the libmyutils package without it actually being installed? Or do I have to actually install libmyutils in order for libmypackage to access it? Example: # Cont...
In Xcode, I know that you can get variables such as PROJECT_DIR to use in some situations, such as a run script build phase. I am wondering if it's possible to get the build type: IE 'Release' or 'Debug'. Any ideas? ...
I've added a pre-build action for an ASP.NET web control (server control) project, that runs jsmin.exe on a set of Javascript files. These output files are part of the source control tree and are embedded into the assembly. The problem is when the pre-build runs, jsmin can't write the file as it's readonly. Is it possible to check the ...
I have a distributed application. The client and the servers share some common libraries. The client has to be compiled with a JDK 5 compiler or with target=1.5 (run anywhere also on PowerPC and CoreDuo Macs). But I would like to use SE 6 features in the server-only code. Is it ok to compile the common libraries twice - once with a JDK ...
I work on a project with 4 other devs. We currently use Visual Studio to build our solution with some Pre and Post build events. I would like to move to a more powerful build system such as Nant or MsBuild. What are the pros and cons of the two approaches? How is the developer experience using Nant/MsBuild? Is it easy to debug the app...
hi... i would like to know if it's possible to know once a kernel is configured which files are going to be compiled and in what order ? I want to know that because i'm interested in the variations of the building process according to the architecture and i don't want to have as many toolchains as architecture... thanks ...
It's been a little while since I did C++ development professionally and I'd like to get caught up on what the current state of C++ development is in a number of areas. Most of my recent work has been Java, making heavy use of Maven. When I last did C++ development for work, some variant of make was widely accepted as the way to go for ...
Earlier today I asked a question about enforcing coding standards. Someone mention about NDepend tool that does code analysis. It looks like this tools does a lot of good thing to help developers to write higher quality code. The problem is that NDepend is not free (I obviously got spoiled by Open Source projects). I don't mind to sp...
We have 4 different environments: Staging Dev User Acceptance Live We use TFS, pull down the latest code and code away. When they finish a feature, the developers individually upload their changes to Staging. If the site is stable (determined by really loose testing), we upload changes to Dev, then UserAcceptance and then live. We a...
I'd like to add an Implementation-Version line to a manifest in my jar file that reflects the POM version number. I can't for the life of me work out how to do this using the jar plugin. Is this possible? ...
I'd like to add an Implementation-Version line to a manifest in my jar file that reflects the POM version number, using the maven assembly plugin. Note that this is similar but different to another of my recent questions about the jar plugin. ...
Possible Duplicate: Why does C++ compilation take so long? I am working with two different projects of about the same size (loc). The Java build process using Ant is measured in minutes. The C++ build processing using the CMAKE tools is measured in hours. What characteristics of Java allow it to build much faster than a compara...
Hello, We have several c# projects, libraries and solutions (a few asp.net applications, a few class libraries, windows applications like windows services and winform apps. etc.) which most of them depends each others output dlls. Some of our projects are grouped into solutions and they use project dependency. But some projects are not...
Specifically I am interested for the LAMP Stack and some of the best practices to use this for various builds. ...
I'm working on a project that will (soon) be branched into multiple different versions (Trial, Professional, Enterprise, etc). I've been using Subversion since it was first released (and CVS before that), so I'm comfortable with the abstract notion of branches and tags. But in all my development experience, I've only ever really worked ...
We have a Web Application Project (dozens actually..) that has a testing project attached to it. In the testing project I have a simple unit test which exercises a couple of methods. Running locally, the unit test executes and works. However, when our TFS Build server attempts to execute the test, it fails with a error about an invali...
Hello SO, After a recent juggling with our ant scripts I've started to wonder if something better is possible. I need a builder that will know to recompile all required .java files for me. For ex. for this structure public class A { ] public class B extends A {} public class C { B b; } For: Compile('C') Will know to compile A,...
For a while now I have had visual studio producing builds that have all sorts of extra files in them. I have checked everything that I know of for where these could be coming from and I am out of ideas. For example I was previously using MbUnit but now I use nunit. None of my projects even reference MbUnit but it is still appearing in...
Hello. I've created a .NET Add-in that is supposed to do something when a project is being built. I know there are several ways to build a .NET project a) Hitting F5 button b) From Build menu c) From Debug menu ( by debug-ing ) d) By building the solution ( builds the project checked for 'Build' in solution properties ) e) By right-clic...
I'm looking for a custom disk image creation app that I can integrate into the build process for my app (which means I need to be able to run it from the command line if possible). My desired features are that it will size the image for me, let me set the location of my icons when the image is opened, set a custom background/icon, etc. ...
